Matexcel, a leading service provider in material science that provides a full range of materials covering polymers, metals, ceramics and natural materials as well as professional consultation service in manufacturing and characterization, now provides a wide selection of hydroxyapatite products for research use.
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is the main inorganic component of human and animal bones. It can achieve chemical bond bonding with body tissues at the interface. It has a certain solubility in the body, can release harmless ions to the body, can participate in body metabolism, stimulate or induce bone hyperplasia, and can promote the recovery of defective tissues. Repair and show biological activity.
Hydroxyapatite is a new type of bone substitute. Its advantage is that it does not need to be preformed into various shapes like bone cancellous, calcium phosphate ceramics and other materials. It can be simply injected into the bone defect. It can be solidified in situ and adapted to bone defects for shaping. It is widely used because of its excellent biocompatibility, non-toxicity, non-irritation, non-rejection, non-aging, non-sensitization, non-carcinogenic, and chemical combination with bone tissue. The average internal pore diameter is 2~5 µm, and the porosity is 29.4%, which is beneficial to the growth of new bones, so it can gradually evolve from mechanical fixation to biological fixation in the later stage. It can be used in the treatment of fracture metaphysis bone defects, periodontal tissue defects and the preparation of artificial eye seats.
Now, Matexcel provides HAp in different dimensions, from nano to micro sizes, as well as different grades such as research, medical and food grades. Products include: Hydroxyapatite (HAp) (acicular) Powder, Hydroxyapatite (HAp) (acicular) Powder, Hydroxyapatite (HAp) (Short bar) Powder, Hydroxyapatite (HAp) (Fibrous) Powder, Hydroxyapatite (HAp) (Spherical) Powder, Hydroxyapatite (HAp) Microspheres, Hydroxyapatite porous ceramics, HAP (Near spherical) Powder, Hydroxyapatite powder for food-supplements, Hydroxyapatite (HAp) (Spherical) Powder, Calcined, and Hydroxyapatite/Beta-TCP composite porous particles.
